Barbadian cyclist Barry Forde, a medal winner at the world cycling championships and the Pan American Games, tested positive for the banned stimulant ephedrine.

Forde, 26, won a bronze medal last month at the world championships in Germany and two gold medals at the Pan American Games in the Dominican Republic. It was unclear if he would be stripped of any medals.

Forde was given a warning since it was his first offense. A urine test conducted at the world championships turned up positive for ephedrine, Lorde said.

Pan American Games officials sent a fax to Barbadian officials Wednesday, saying Forde tested positive for ephedrine in two doping tests performed at a Montreal laboratory.

A second offense would likely bring a ban of two to six years, but the Barbados Olympic Association plans to challenge the results.

- Wladimir Klitschko stopped Fabio Moli just 97 seconds into the first round of a heavyweight fight Saturday night in Munich, Germany.

The younger of the two Ukrainian Klitschko brothers threw a left that Moli (29-3), the seven-time South American champion, ducked into. The punch slammed into Moli's forehead and sent him into the ropes.

Klitschko (41-2) had his career derailed in March when South African Corrie Sanders knocked him out and took his WBO title.
